QUIET AND LIGHT.
HE Day Exceptionally Peaceful
and tho Vote n Small One.


Minneapolis had very quiet election and
the vote polled was never smaller in pro-
portion. There was not particle of eX-
element and on some places even no in
terest. The absence of the usual large
crowds at the polling places was conspicuous
and at places a pedestrian would scarce
have known an election was in progress.
There were one or two exceptions to this
rule and there were even wards where
good vote came out under pressure, but
these exceptions made the general rule only
the more prominent. The polls opening at
9 compelled many business men to go to
their offices without voting and thus so dis
tributed them through the day that at no
time was there any great pressure at the
polls. The fact that Z O'clock was the
closing hour permitted WOrkmen to vote
after hours and in some places caused quite
rush about $50 o'clock. There was
remarkable absence of the snalls disorder
usually observable Oh election. While there
was no lack OF work done, it was done
without demonstration or loud argument
and the solitary police officer at each poll
ing place walked his limited beat i'll perfect
peace.
The weather was not propitious. There
with Republicans success. but the smiles
with which the ''earnest. thoughtful and
consistent ones greeted the morning sun
died away toward noon and disappeared al
together when tie afternoon set in dark
and dreary and a chilly. damp breeze came
up. 1t was apathy, not the weather, that
kept the vote down, though bad roads in
terfered in the new forming wards with
which the city has lately been decorated. The
ticket peddlerS and challengers shivered
and stamped in the long intervals between
voters and judges and clerks in many pre-
elncts, had abundant opportunity to discuss
the new law and speculate on the result.
Altogether, it was the most inert, inactive
and generally peaceful election day the
city ever had.
1t was claimed at an early hour this
morning that two OF the Republican candi-
dates for aldermen elsewhere reported
elected are ineligible and will not be able to
retain their seats. The facts will all come
out to-day.

LONDON, Feb 9.-Ten thousand Socialists
net in Clerkenwell Tuesday evening and sub
sequentiy marched III procession, in detianca
of the government prohibition promulgated
Monday. Hundreds of mounted police were
on the spot, but their presence did not pre-
vent the speakers from giving utterance to
most incendary speeches. An attempt on
the part of the Socialists was made to light
torches preparatory to forming a procession,
but the police interfered and the mob dis
persed, breaking into three parties and tax
ing three dlfferentroutes This piece of STRAIT
egg rendered the force of police on the
ground wholly inadequate TO control the en-
tire number of Socialists, compelling the
former TO also divide itself into three par
ties
The Socialist contingent which marched
in the direction of the city armed themselves
with pieces of granite, which were lying loose
in the street where they were needed to re-
pair the pavement, and began smashing the
windows Of shops and houses en- route. The
crowd attempted To loot butcher shop, but
were met at the door By the owner, who
emptied a revolver into the mob. driving
